Rolling out enterprise mobile devices at scale can be risky. We often get asked by customers how to lock down mobility devices deployed in the field (like phones or tablets) to prevent other apps being loaded or enforce certain usage policies.

In today’s rapidly growing world of IoT (Internet of Things), making the correct decision from a vast range of cellular M2M connectivity devices might, at times, pose challenges. Choosing which SIM format you need is one such decision.

The technology will enable faster data transfer speeds (from 4G’s 1Gbps to 10Gbps). As a result, 5G creates tremendous opportunity for numerous industries, but also sets the stage for large-scale disruption.

Although the exact timing of national coverage on both networks are still sketchy, it can be presumed that they are technically ready to roll out (it is mostly a software upgrade to towers, not hardware, as it uses the 5G spectrum)… and just waiting on some business cases to materialise.

They set themselves a target to save 1 million liters of water per day at schools in the Western Cape, and since the Smart Water Challenge started in November last year, already more than 19 million liters of water has been saved through the first 20 meters that was installed during the December holidays.

The IoT project deployment is running late and the pressure is on to get devices into the field. As technology executive or project leader, the last piece of the project puzzle is typically the sourcing, provisioning, installation and testing of data SIM cards into IoT or M2M devices.
